Jason's story underscores our commitment to transforming lives and healing relationships in our community. Your support makes stories like his possible, turning despair into hope and making a real difference in the lives of local families. Together, we're creating brighter tomorrows!

🌟 As we navigate this back-to-school season, remember that taking care of your mental health is just as important as academics. Whether you're a caregiver, parent, or educator, here are some ways to help youth tackle this time with positivity and resilience:

1️⃣ Ask How They Are Doing: Take time to ask your child how they are feeling about going back to school and listen attentively to their thoughts and concerns.

2️⃣ Give Reassurance: Remind your child of their strengths and past successes, reassuring them that they can handle any challenges that come their way.

3️⃣ Provide Practical Help: Help them organize their school supplies and ensuring they have everything they need for a smooth transition back to school.

4️⃣ Develop a Routine: Establish a daily routine that includes set times for waking up, meals, homework, and bedtime to provide structure and stability.

5️⃣ Be a Role Model: Set a positive example by demonstrating a healthy attitude towards school, showing enthusiasm for learning, and managing any stress or concerns calmly to inspire confidence in your child.

Child & Family Center is here to help you and your family navigate this transition smoothly. You've got this! 💚
